Empress Farm is a family farm locally
owned and operated by Mike and Diane Taylor. Both Mike and Diane's
grandparents were farming families. Both of Diane's grandparents had
farms in Ohio.

For many years, her grandmother did organic gardening.
Mike's grandparents did their farming in Buckingham County, Virginia.
His grandparents also ran a general store that carried everything from
farm supplies to school supplies. You could even fill up your car with
gas. His grandmother canned fruits and vegetables for the family's use
as well as churned butter for the family store.

Mike wanted to return to his roots and therefore
went into farming, both animal husbandry and raising crops. They
operate the farm on over 19 acres of beautiful farm land in King William
county, Virginia.

They raise rabbits under humane conditions. There are no growth inducing hormones
or antibiotics given to their animals.

The rabbits are given quality hay as well as feed
to ensure optimal health and well-being.

Please note that Empress Farm no
longer raises poultry.

Empress Farm carries their own line of
home-style preserves, jams, jellies, relishes and pickled products, such
as asparagus and bread and butter pickles.
